LAST day for early registration for the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social annual meeting in San Antonio. Plenty of excellent fish science, networking, and motivation to be found! PLUS I am running a science communication workshop with the ever-inspirational Carolyn Hall on Sunday August 10th.

Ironies of ironies...COP30 will meet in Brazil. At this meeting there are plans to focus on the importance of nature and land use as part of climate action. AND YET they are constructing a highway through the rainforest for COP30 transportation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Fishmas Day is here at last, so break out the candy canes because Day 25 is all about the stripes - the Striped Shiner (Luxilus chrysocephalus), that is! We end this year's #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas by shining some light on a small fish who’s not often in the spotlight ✨

I so love this. I proudly worked for most of my career at the “Illinois Natural History Survey” where the roots of the organization was firmly in the old school observation of nature. So lucky to have worked with a senior naturalist - sitting with his field notebooks was a place of wonder! 🐝🐟🌿🐾🪶

A #Fishmas Grinch or gift? On Day 13, it's a fish that may be a bit of both! 🎁 Unlike other salmon species intentionally brought to the #GreatLakes, the Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) was an unexpected addition that has nevertheless become important to anglers #25DaysofFishmas

December's cold and dark - just perfect for the Kiyi! They live in the deepest, coldest waters of the #GreatLakes + rarely found <330 ft/100 m. In contrast to other ciscoes, their large eyes have evolved to see particularly well in the deep's low-light #25DaysofFishmas www.ijc.org/en/kiyi-eyes...

That’s a common fallacy. In fact, the smarter and more educated people are, the better they are at motivated reasoning, and the more divided they are on climate change. The biggest dismissives are often the smartest.

Just started listening to Carl Sagan’s book “The Demon-Haunted World”, written in 1995. How much of the information is still relevant today? So far, EVERYTHING. It’s astonishing to reflect on how little has changed in society’s understanding—or lack thereof—of how science is conducted.
